And along comes Martin Frost, a long time democrat player. Who, guess what? Is saying what republicans and conservatives have been saying for 5 years. Democrats, you are not connecting with the average voter! Now I know he shapes the debate in terms of the middle class (that is people making $30k - $75k), but isn't the middle class the 'average' american? And you are getting stomped. Worse than that, you are targetting a diminishing demographic. You despis...
Anyone surprised? I was not.
Mark Warner, current governor of Virginia and no other elected office, is thinking of running for president. he bought the governorship. He is a rich Business man from NVA. And his tenure? Average, or slightly below. He did force a tax hike on the commonwealth even tho it was not needed. And since Va. Governors cannot run for a second consecutive term, he is out of a job in 7 months. So now he is talking about running for president. Well, there are a ...
From a letter to the editor of Asheville Citizen Times, Faye Arrington relates: I am an animal lover. I am shocked at the speed of automobiles on the Blue Ridge Parkway and have reported same to the rangers. On a recent Sunday I saw a little squirrel halfway across the road. A driver approached and could have more than given the squirrel time to get out of danger, but no. He hit the little squirrel. I jumped out hoping he [the squirrel] was only dazed. I picked him up, trying to breat...

You got it right people! Children are a vast right wing conspricacy to enslave liberals! There is a thread going on over at the whacko site that has the title as a post plus: A decade and a half of guilt, manipulation, and assaults. I could not wait to be an adult. Yeah, there were moments of joy, but it was hardly a Norman Rockwell experience. I am glad I don't live in a farm economy or a conservative culture where children are required. I just don't want to see anything l...
In what can only be seen as an affirmation of Howard Dean, Moveon.org organized a demonstration against a US House of Representative, Mike Rogers of Michigan(R) at his home office. The problem is the purpose of the demonstration was against the wrong Mike Rogers! The one they had a 'beef' with is a Mike Rogers from Alabama. So it seems that Moveon.org agrees with howie, and all those white christian republicans look alike to the bigots of Moveon.org!
It seems that the more scientist dig into the mysteries of mother nature, the more they learn, and the more the myths are proved to be just that Myths. Now comes a study that says insted of being the lungs of the planet, the Amazon is the biggest polluter! Far from cleaning up the atmosphere, the Amazon is now a major source for pollution. Rampant burning and deforestation, mostly at the hands of illegal loggers and of ranchers, release hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide i...
It seems that environmentalist (the luddites) are no longer satisfied with protecting endangered species of plants and animals, now they are trying to usurp the rights of property owners to do with their property as they see fit, period! In what can only be classified as eco fraud, they tried to transplant an endangered species of plant on to a site that being developed into a subdivision. If successful, the owners would have suffered millions of dollars in lost value due to fraud. ...
Thus goes the old joke. But in this case, we must look closely at not only the lips, but the results of the actions, and not the words. This was inspired by a question from Pads (DiseasedHumanity) on another blog. That blog was how the Fillibuster has been used to deprive minorities, not minority parties, of their rights for the last 100 years. And the question was, "They say they are doing XY and Z because of AB and C. Ho can we say they were not acting nobly?" Tha...
"Navy Destroyer Gun Fired, no Injuries" --- Richmond Times Dispatch, June 7, 2005 Those gunners better get in more target practice! "Charlotte Church: Bush Is a Wierdo"--headline, Paisley (Scotland) Daily Express, June 3 Not all Churches are conservative I guess. "Distraction, not age, makes us forget things, experts say" -- subheadline, Houston Chronicle, June 5 Ok, so why do old people have more distractions then? "Dental Society Picks 107th President"--headline, Hartfor...

It is interesting to note the left's screed about maintaining the filibuster. Yet what is it really good for? The most famous case was when Byrd and his allies tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Bill. But a darker example also exists. One that I am sure Byrd and his ilk praise as being a demonstration of the minority's right to not be trampled by the majority: The Senate resolution, sponsored by Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and George Allen, R-Va., notes that nearly...
IN a complete reversal of their scurrilous comparison of Gitmo to a soviet Gulag, William Schultz, the leader in America of AI, stated the following: "Clearly, this is not an exact or a literal analogy," said William Schulz. "In size and in duration, there are not similarities between U.S. detention facilities and the gulag. . . . People are not being starved in those facilities. They're not being subjected to forced labor." Clearly the words "we were wrong" is beyond their ...
Well, since Moderateman and Terpfan beat me to the latest Deanisms, I have to search for other idiotic statements made by liberals. And it did not take me long to find one. Of course a self professed genious (I met one once, he was not a genius). So what does Hillary the smartest lady in the world say: it's another one of these inconvenient facts that he's the first president in history that took us to war and cut taxes at the same time. Uh, let me clue you in ...
